Hi Michell, the CCR series from MT is probably is as cost effictive a 10G+ Capable system that you can use to generate and measure the packet troughput of a core router under test... check out traffic generator http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/Traffic_Generator you can generate small packets / large packets ... simulate TCP throughput and play wireshark pcap files.. .. it is prety comprehensive... somre of the configuration syntax is not that intutive ... but its worakable... any system that I have tested with traffic generator vs an expensive calibrated tests the results were always corelating between MT traffic generator and the expensive testers with an error margin of 1-2 % I hope that helps...

Hi,I am looking to validate the performance specs of a core router. I am looking for a network traffic simulator which can simulate 40 gbps of traffic. I am looking for a simulator with sfp+ ports. I am interested in any input as to brands to look at, build one myself etc. Thanks,Mitchell
